It's their strategy to push us to consume ever more goddamn iPhones. We need to stop that.
- slantyyz 13y agoI have to admit, I found it extremely refreshing how the last couple of OS upgrades for Android actually made my Nexus 7 faster.
- seiji 13y agoStop advancing software because people want to run a seven year old hardware platform?
- derefr 13y agoI'm running Windows 8 on my 2007-era notebook. Runs a lot faster than the copy of Vista it was designed for, actually.
- frank_boyd 13y ago> Stop advancing software Nobody said that. Apple can "advance" software for the newer devices and just patch the security holes for the older ones. Nobody's asking for downgrades.
- slantyyz 13y agoI have a 3 year "recycle" policy with my own hardware. My iPad 1 became unusable in less than 3 years. It doesn't feel good to spend ~$800 (a 64gb wifi with taxes in) on a device only to have it ruined by OS upgrades. If Apple let you downgrade the OS easily, I probably wouldn't be nearly as pissed about it. --edit-- In retrospect, I feel like a fool for plunking the extra $ for the 64GB model, thinking that it would help 'future proof' my purchase.
